Understanding the Basics of Cloud Computing
Cloud computing has transformed the way we develop, deploy, and scale applications. In this post, we'll explore the fundamental concepts, service models, and deployment options that define modern cloud platforms.
Service Models
- IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) – Virtualized computing resources over the internet.
- PaaS (Platform as a Service) – Complete development and deployment environments.
- SaaS (Software as a Service) – Ready-to-use applications hosted in the cloud.
Deployment Models
Choosing the right deployment model depends on your organization’s needs:
- Public Cloud
- Private Cloud
- Hybrid Cloud
- Multi‑Cloud
Each model offers unique advantages in terms of cost, security, and scalability.

Great overview! I’d love to see more on cost optimization strategies for hybrid clouds.
Thanks for the clear explanations. How does serverless fit into these models?
